Gadget Lab Podcast: Life Is a Series of Awful Experiences

Moto 360.

Ariel Zambelich/WIRED

Are you having deep thoughts about the social web? Searching for relevance at Ello? Seeking a secret meaning in the Vim-tinted nostalgia of Tilde.club? You're not alone. But we've gone there and we can tell you: give up. There is no relevance. There is no deeper meaning, no endgame. These new social networking experiments are just a bunch of nerds having fun on the internet, and that's a glorious thing. Of course, that doesn't stop the hosts from over-intellectualizing the phenomena anyway.

Also this week, Mat tells us about his second-gen Moto X and his Moto 360 Android Wear watch, both of which he is enjoying very much. The hosts question the existence of HTC's new compact action camera, the Re. And Mike tells another boring story, this one about how he attended a Sebadoh concert and kept his phone in his pocket. You won't believe what happened next.

Programming note: The WIRED offices are currently undergoing some light construction (we're remodeling). So during the podcast, you'll hear background banging noises, some concrete polishing, and a Wilhelm scream or two.
